| Beryllium Tweets I'm looking at trying the Tekton Lore speakers but can't decide if I should get the BE for an extra $300. Is it worth it? | |
| Anyone remember the lateral tracking Bang and Olufsen record player from the 80’s?? So funny how this topic came up when I was just talking to a friend yesterday about the Beogram RX TT that I still have. I bought the Beogram in 1985 and it still works fine---I have a MMC3 cartridge on it. About a year ago, I did a system upgrade... | |
| Budget streaming amp I had the NAD with BluOS. I didn't care for it at all. It was very sensitive to phone location plus it just didn't sound good with Bluetooth. I went with the Marantz ND8006 CD/network streamer (via WiFi) for $1200. Sounds wonderful! | |
| Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp. Yay! Congrats on the new Luxman! I'm new to Luxman as well---just purchased my first piece. I shopped around and did my research and got a L505uxii integrated amp. Wow! The music sounds so fluid and natural. Even my husband (who's not an audiophil... | |
| Looking for closed back headphone advice As for my amp, I have a Luxman 505uxii integrated amp. I saw the Sony headphones mentioned below and they look interesting as well as the Beyerdynamic. I'm not very well versed on headphone specs and amps so I appreciate the input. Would the Sony ... | |
| Looking for closed back headphone advice Thanks for the recommendations---I like the flexibility of the closed backs in case I need to travel with them. So far, I've been looking at Focal, Sony, Shure, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Dan Clark Audio, Denon, Master Dynamic and a few more. I kee... | |
| Switch from AB to D I just recently traded in a high quality class D amp and went back to a class A/B integrated and there is a difference in sound. I enjoyed the class D but the A/B sounds more musical to me. Even my husband, who is not an audiophile, believes the A... | |

| Integrated Amp $1200 or less Marantz PM8006 is very nice. | |
| Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options Check out Belles Aria integrated----I've only seen great reviews for this piece. Good luck! | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? I had a Denon integrated amp many years ago with a loudness button---loved it at lower volumes. I'm looking into getting a new integrated soon and the Luxman integrated is my #1 choice since they still have a loudness button. I wish the new Yamaha... | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life I'm not a typical audiophile---I don't listen to jazz I'm not super detailed on specs. I listen to mostly electronic music and classic rock/pop/alternative. So I can educate myself. I try to go to as many audio stores (not Best Buy) as I can. Try ... | |
| Unbelievable Yamaha has the same piano black finish on the sides their integrated amps---does that do anything to improve the sound? | |
| Low volume listening dynamics I plan on getting a new Luxman integrated amp soon and one of the things I like about the Luxman is that it has a loudness button on the remote. My old Denon integrated amp from the 80s had a loudness button as well. Not sure why newer amps don't ... |
